On whom do you prefer to rely for information? Journalists? Influential celebrities? Parents? Friends?
You've probably heard about the damaging and harmful consequences brought by the proliferation of false information. If not, please see our previous post.
What is the importance of ‘fact-checking’ in the face of this information disaster?
The flow of information never stops, and we are generally aware that what ends up in audience reach isn't always factual. As a response, educating one another on the significance of fact-checking may help to minimize the spread of harmful and malicious information. Vigilance is the best defense we have against the growing threat of an infodemic. Examine whether the existing knowledge you've gathered elsewhere is authentic. Remember that it is not an offense if you initially believe false information unless you continue to turn a blind eye while being fully informed that you are misguided.
